BMW to launch Mini Convertible in India this year

GREATER NOIDA: German luxury carmaker BMW today said it plans to launch the all-new Mini Convertible in India later this year.

The new Mini Convertible will be launched as a completely built-up unit (CBU) in first half of the year. The company also confirmed the introduction of Mini Clubman in India in the near future.

"It's the unmistakable Mini charisma that grips the hearts of Mini fans everywhere in the world. With the launch of the all-new Mini Convertible and the all-new Mini Clubman, Mini will continue its success story," BMW Group India President Philipp von Sahr told reporters here.

In fact, segment leaders like Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors and Hero MotoCorp have reported de-growth of 34.3 per cent, 45 per cent and 20 per cent, respectively giving a clear indication of a prolonged slowdown in the sector.
